Raut launched a scathing attack against the BJP, saying he was not afraid of the ED or any other Central agency and did not give them any value. But, he announced that if the BJP have been to go on targeting the opposition by roping in Central investigating agencies, he would reveal at an suitable time, circumstances associated to 120 BJP leaders which would jolt the Centre.
Raut claimed the Central government had “stooped so low” as to target the little ones, ladies and households of their political opponents. He claimed that the ED notice was a “political move”. The Centre was making use of the ED to settle scores with opposition leaders, intending to destabilise the state government.
